Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Two days later, Tianming took the Dragon Girl away from the Moon Watching Temple.

Yesterday's wedding was very successful. The banquet was lively and the food was delicious. Tianming enjoyed himself so much that he even vomited twice.

Princess Halloween was riding on the colorful clouds and complaining in the sky.

"The other day there were so many people that I couldn't remind the holy monk, but this incident is full of dangers. How can you get drunk? What if you encounter any danger? What should you do?"

Tianming yawned and had a very comfortable sleep.

"If I relax, I might die, but if I tense up all the time, I will definitely die."

"This world is just a huge makeshift troupe. Monsters, gods and Buddhas also take naps sometimes. It's impossible for them to watch me every minute of every day."

Princess Halloween lowered her altitude.

Below is a forest, with five kinds of trees and grasses, including pine, cypress, peach, bamboo, and willow, growing in the same area. I think there is something wrong.

"Holy monk, look, there is a problem down there."

Pine and cypress trees generally grow in cold places, peach trees are afraid of waterlogging and cold, willow trees need strong winds to help spread their seeds, and bamboo grows in patches but is afraid of strong winds.

"It is a little strange. You and I are very familiar with this place."

Tianming pointed at the colorful clouds under his feet, and one of them disappeared out of thin air.

Princess Halloween became alert and controlled Caiyun to take a step back.

The missing piece of the cloud 'grew' back again.

"This is?"

"This is a space-time barrier similar to the entrance to the Red Bearded Dragon. We experienced it together last time I opened the waterfall."

Although Princess Halloween didn't understand what the space-time barrier was, it made sense for her to understand it as a barrier.

"Holy monk, is this the entrance to the Soul-Holding Cliff that you found out?"

Tianming was not sure.

"The direction is correct. According to the old monk, this place should be called Cangfeng Mountain Valley. Let's go in and take a look first."

After that, the two of them entered the diaphragm.

The entire space became dark and dim. Unlike before, Tianming felt something like crystal or glass next to him.

This time there was no subtitle poem. In the endless darkness, there was only a hunter singing a hymn sadly.

"How can a dead person or horse return home? A lonely ghost is in a mess."

"It's a pity that the heroic general, unable to distinguish between the wise and the foolish, has his blood stained on the sand."

After reading this poem, the hunter laughed and shouted!

"Fate! Fate!"

……

This poem seems to be expressing sympathy for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, as if it is saying that some superiors who cannot distinguish between the wise and the foolish did something stupid that cost them their lives.

Tianming's eyes brightened and he arrived at a stretch of yellow sand.

The poet who was reciting the poem with grief and indignation just now is also gone.

"Holy monk, this place is all yellow sand, is it really the Soul-Holding Cliff?"

Tianming felt dizzy and a little confused.

"That should be it. There are two people in front. Let's go over and ask them."

More than 300 meters away from the two of them, there were two traveling merchants. The tall one with a big beard was carrying two full loads of luggage. The shorter and fatter one had a big palm-leaf fan on his face, fanning himself with a smile on his face.

"Oh, I think he is wrong. How many real lives have been killed for three fake lives? Even we are implicated and cannot leave because we are being bullied here."

"Second brother, please stop talking. If someone hears you, Master will definitely chase you away."

The fat man laughed even more happily at this moment, and fanned himself with the big cattail leaf fan more and more vigorously.

"That would be the best. If he chases me away, I will leave immediately, not hesitant like my elder brother!"

Tianming listened to half of what they were talking about from behind, and didn't know what they were talking about, so he went up to talk to them.

"Two brothers, may I ask where is this place?"

The fat man glanced back.

"Damn place!"

"There's a cave in front and a cliff in the back, neither of which is a good place for people to stay. You should leave quickly."

Tianming turned around and looked back. There was indeed a mountain wall not far away. He thought it was a slope before, but it turned out to be a cliff. He didn’t see it because of the different angle just now.

"Thank you both."

Tianming said goodbye to the two and went back to reunite with the Dragon Girl.

After he left, the fat man and the bearded man beside him started chatting with each other.

"These two people..."

"Not a mortal."

"Look at them..."

“Not a god either.”

"Third brother, should we go and take a look?"

"If you don't go, you will die sooner or later."

"Okay, then let's go back and look for that troublesome short-lived ghost."

……

Tianming took the Dragon Girl to the cliff according to the location described by the fat man, and sure enough, there was a bottomless ravine there.

He took Princess Halloween and explored down along the edge of the cliff.

This place is obviously a demon cave where a large number of monsters gather. The further you go down, the darker it becomes. The sounds around you become fewer and fewer, and it is so quiet that it makes people's backs chill.

After walking down for several hundred meters, a platform appeared with many stone buildings on it.

When I got closer, I found that the square stone pillars and walls were carved with black wild boar head totems.

"Has Second Brother also been to this place?"

While thinking this, he walked deeper into the platform, and saw faint blue lights flashing in the distance.

"Holy monk, there is something ahead, let's go take a look."

Princess Halloween grabbed Tianming's sleeve nervously, her beautiful eyes widened.

Sometimes Tianming really didn't understand, why would the princess of the water tribe be afraid of the dark? As the dragon tribe, aren't they the strongest monster lineage, why would they be afraid of other monsters?

He put the last bit of star power that had not been consumed on his head and created a light source.

"Princess Halloween, you should just follow me."

They walked around the back of the platform and continued along the cliff for a few more steps.

Near the blue light, they smelled a familiar scent.

"Damn monster, it's eating a lot of people here again!"

The blue light ball actually reacted to Tianming's words and floated towards them.

The ball of light emitted a foul smell as it approached.

It feels like putting a dead lizard in paper money and burning it to ashes, then stuffing it into a quilt for three days. It's really disgusting!

When I looked closer, I realized that the three spots of light were indeed a lantern demon.

The body below the head looked like a lizard in spirit form, with blue skin and four fingers, the edges of its scales glowing silver, its two feet standing upright, and it was staggeringly walking towards the two of them, about one and a half meters tall.

But there were indeed three lanterns hanging around his neck, emitting a faint blue light, and the candlelight in the lanterns seemed to be burning his soul.

'This is burning the soul!'

Tianming felt a faint spiritual presence in the candlelight.

All living things in the world have spiritual essence, and after death they will return to the world and repeat the cycle over and over again. However, the spiritual essence of a person who has done no evil in his life is as obedient to his nature, so it will be obtained by others, such as the black bear demon.

These monsters before us burn the souls of mortals to ashes and squeeze out the remaining spiritual essence, which is another even more cruel method!

These monsters are not short of cruel tortures in order to gain spiritual essence!

"Soul-stealing Cliff, it really is a place that can snatch away souls and spirits!"
